I've used the 13" model before (it was a 1370), it didn't feel all that cheaply made. Of course, neither did my DV8000. I like the chipset in the XPS though a lot better.

i got the 13" coz i wanted the small one, and yeah its really pretty well built, and comes with its own little bag thing... i only have a few issues with it....

1. the screen bolt is loose and so the screen wobbles
2. the touch screen buttons to eject the DVD/CD drive are the only buttons to eject it, which makes installing other OS's 'interesting' (like OSx86 and Lunix distro's)

but its pretty cool, mine came with a remote, and if i would you I'd get the super long life battery as Ive had my laptop running for over 5 hours with that bad boy,

My laptop weighs a cool 8.1 lbs. It's a desktop-replacement class though.

Or an FF-Class as I like to call it.

I know how you feel man, i have a Toshiba Satellite thats about 8-10 lbs. Its a good laptop, but its alittle too big for me, its ment for multimedia, with a 17" monitor. on a laptop thats too much.
